Team,
Assuming command a short 48 days ago, I’ve decided to jump
in with both feet and start a blog. My
primary purpose in starting the blog is to highlight outstanding units and
Sailors that I meet as I travel around the Navy Reserve Force. I’d also like to generate discussion and get
feedback on issues impacting our Navy Reserve Sailors today.
As the Commander, Navy Reserve Forces Command, I support the
Navy Reserve mission of providing strategic
depth and delivering operational capabilities to our Navy and Marine Corps
team, and Joint forces, from peace to war.
I do this by delivering Reserve Sailors to their active component gaining commands at the right time with
the right skills at the right readiness level.
My goal is to remove any barriers and “speed bumps” our Selected Reservists
encounter while also maintaining accountability for the resources
expended in getting these Sailors to the fleet.
It’s a fine balance.
So, let’s kick this conversation off! First, sign up to
receive my blog posts via email. Secondly, tell me about some of the “speed bumps”
you have encountered in supporting your gaining command. I’ll be using your feedback to improve the process and am
looking forward to starting a productive dialog!
All the best, Clutch
